The headless pilot thing has been doing the rounds in the other planes for a while now. Hype Performance were the first to do it with their H-145 and Indiafoxtecho have started doing it with their planes now too. Its a a good trick and comes into its own for VR users. It adds massively to the immersion in VR to have a virtual body in the cockpit, but obviously you don't want a head getting in the way.

With zero experience in creating aircraft in MSFS 2020, DC Designs put out their F-15 at freaking $40 price point, the plane sucked on release and didn't get an update until well after a year of it's release. Top Mach Studios however, released a FREE F-22 which at the time, wasn't just the best freeware military aircraft, but better than majority of payware aircraft, especially if you emphasize flight model. Top Mach do not rush their product. Those guys do extensive research, and actually fly aircraft to enjoy, not just to create, which helps them know how to create an aircraft one can enjoy. I cannot ever trust any video that has an unreleased product as 99% of the time, developers seek out content creators they know will be appreciative of getting an early copy(usually free) in exchange for a good review. This benefits the developers as good free marketing, and it benefits the content creator as they get exclusive content that brings views to their channel. However that being said, the textures shown in your video make the aircraft appear very nice, and being that I know the (good) history of TMS, I'm excited to get this aircraft.

Not a Heatblur level. They set the bar very high with f-14 and the phantom. It is hard to switch from DCS to MSFS quality of mods. But still, this B-2 seems to be well created in comparison to 75% of msfs marketplace quality.

F-14 is also well known and doesn't have the level of top-secret equipment as the B-2. So of course, there will be limitations, but I still would put this aircraft on the same level as IndiaFoxtEcho military aircrafts.

@sansaratech2 ай бұрын
Just for fun I asked ChatGPT what it meant. It made stuff up on the fly. TBT refers to Turbine Blade Temperature. ChatGPT: "A TBT caution on a B-2 bomber stands for Triple Brick Threat caution. This is an alert that indicates a problem with three major avionics components, often referred to as "bricks." These components are critical to the aircraft's flight control, navigation, or mission systems. When a TBT caution is triggered, it means that all three of these components have failed or are experiencing issues simultaneously, which could severely impact the aircraft's operational capabilities. In response to a TBT caution, the flight crew would need to take immediate and appropriate actions, which may include system diagnostics, reconfiguration, or potentially aborting the mission depending on the severity of the situation. The specific procedures would be detailed in the aircraft's operational manual and are usually drilled extensively in training."
